"As a mindset and confidence coach, I empower adolescents and adults to build self-trust, establish healthy boundaries, and move forward with genuine confidence."

Shalawn is the heart behind Makers Vintage Collection. She founded it on a simple but powerful belief: every older adult deserves opportunities to remain connected, engaged, and valued within their community.

Why she started MVC

Seeing seniors left behind

As Atlanta continues to grow and change, many seniors face social isolation, transportation barriers, and limited access to culturally relevant programs. Makers Vintage Collection was created to change that.

How she leads
